I suppose I miss the context behind Branden's question (and behind other people's reactions). Actually, from an external observer's point of view, it isn't easy to assess how the Community Team is working, because most of their activity happens in private for good reason. Maybe the team should send regular "bits from" mails with some statistics, e.g., in this month we were contacted by N persons and reached out to M other persons for reasons X, Y and Z and it went such and such -- of course all anonymized. But that is really off topic for DPL election. What is in topic for DPL election is that, since Community is a delegated team, if there are issues that suggest that their delegation should be revised, it would be up to the DPL to act on that. As I understand, the issue raised by Branden seems to be that there is some confusion about the actual powers of the team and how they exercise it. Again, I miss the context to assess whether that is true and how pressing of an issue it is. Branden (or anybody else) might want to provide more information. On the general "no more than one delegation per person" issue, I'm not aware that this has ever been a problem. Again, Branden might want to elaborate why he thinks it is. Gerardo
